SOL CHARLES WERBLOW “Sol” “The style itself is the mqn.” Did you see Sol “kid” day? Since then we have decided that he will surely become a farmer for he takes the part to perfection. Sol is quiet but does not mind expressing himself when called upon to do so. An excel- lent student with plenty of school spirit. He performs his duties with the ability of one who will succeed. MARY ROYALL “Haste thee nymph, and bring with thee, Jest and youthful jollity.” Giggles, giggles, giggles. What is Mary laughing at now? We sometimes wonder what she finds to laugh at so often, but then “Fun- ny’s” always near and where we find “Funny” we find smiles and giggles. The class as a whole will miss the happy-go-lucky manner and smile of our class chatterbox and giggles. Good luck, Mary, and may you always see the funny side of life. LUCILLE EVELYN PARKER “Fortune favors the bold.” Lucille ran Mary Royall a close second for chatterbox when we held our elections. She is one of the greatest talkers in school and argue — she should enter the debating contest. It is Lucille’s chief delight to explain to Mr. Stanley the disadvantages of exercises. 25

JOHN ASHLEY PULLEY “Hoss Pulley” “I shall either find a way or make one.” President Athletic Association; Football, ' 21- ’22-’23; Captain Football, ’23; Track, ’23; Mgr. Volleyball Room 9, Captain Safety Patrol. John’s quotations could well be termed his football motto, judging from the way he “bucks the line.” He is a real athlete and one of the best Newport News ever had. Not only in athletics was John popular, but he was one of the best liked fellows in school. John makes his personality felt wherever he goes. Here’s to his success! He will make many a touch- down in the game of life. FRANCES VOLK “Sookie” “I will be happy and free, I’ll be sad for no man.” Track Team ’23; Vice-President Student Club, ’23; Hame Room Representative, ’23; Treasurer Philolethian Literary Society, ’23; Class Creed; Annual Staff. “Sookie” is either one of the most shy or one of the most independent creatures known. Writing limericks and blank verse is her weakness. One of her best known and most appreciated works is “And I Learned About Women From Her.” It is a sad recital of var- ious “crushes” on well known members of the faculty. SOLOMON HERMAN GOLDBERG “Scoots” “Talents differ, all is well and wisely put.” “Scotts” hasn’t done much to impress the school but he has certainly come across with his quota of help in all class activities. He is very prompt and business like in money mat- ters which is a sure sign of success in the future. 24

MARIE BROWN “A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest men.” EDWIN COYNER “Eddie” “The sweetness of doing nothing.” DOROTHY PULLEN “Dot” “Love me little, love me long.” Representative Student Council, ’24; Adver- tising Manager Beacon Annual, 24; Class Sec- retary, ’21-’22-’23-’24; Class Treasurer, ’23-’24; Track Medal, ’23; Class Executrix. Besides being our most attractive girl, it has also been suggested that we make Dot the class Beatrice Fairfax. For if there is any heart trouble on which Dot is not an expert we have not been able to find it. She’s always in love with someone and we believe her “af- fairs de coeur” all add to her host of friends and comrades. We have only one fault to find with Dot and that is she just won’t tell who is the man. Marie is about the most happy-go-lucky member of the class. Her winning smile and carefree manner are well known all around the school. Anyone who has seen Marie laboring over the Beacon circulations will admit that she often settles down to hard work. Marie also flashes Annapolis cuff-links, rings, etc. We wonder what lucky mortal she has vamped now. Face all of life’s problems in your care- free manner, Marie, and we are sure you will succeed. Football, ’23-’24; Class Play, ’24. Here’s our class “Lazy Man.” Eddie doesn’t fancy the title much, but of course he can’t help himself. They say he is the laziest man on the fo otball squad. However, if we judge from his playing laziness might be included in the squad’s training next fall. Eddie’s good- natured smile and merry laugh have helped us wile away many an organization period in the old home room. 26
